Message from the Director
Welcome to the Arts Management Program at the College of Charleston! Our program prepares students to become leaders, managers, and integral members of arts organizations. The courses in the program emphasize management, organization, decision-making, and problem-solving skills relevant to the creative sector. Internships and participation in the School of the Arts and community arts organizations reinforce classroom experiences. We are fortunate to have local artists, administrators, managers, and other arts professionals engage our students in the classroom.
We strongly encourage students to pursue additional studies in the fine arts, business, or related disciplines to complement arts management coursework. Common double majors and minors include business, marketing, communication, and the visual and performing arts.
Learn more by visiting our page, Getting Started. Additionally, we encourage prospective students to arrange in-person and virtual meetings with me or other members of the faculty.
I hope to hear from you soon!
Kate Keeney, Ph.D., Program Director
